    This game is currently classified exclusively as third person shooter, which is inaccurate and very misleading. While there are guns and the POV is third person, it's a very limited element of the gameplay, as the focus of combat is on melee combos. It would be like calling Devil May Cry a third person shooter, which is silly. This game plays very similarly to the Devil May Cry series, in which all 8 games are classified as hack & slash, and I think its genre should match it.
    Please remove third person shooter and change Evil West to hack & slash.

    You'll need to raise a formal disagreement via the button if you want the Genre Team to consider the suggestion.

    I played and loved this game. I consider it an Action game. Yes, you can use melee but the majority of the time I spent (60/40) shooting. The best way to categorize it would actually be Action, but idc enough to register a disagreement. TA mislabels games all the time.
    Go Dawgs! Let’s go for 3 in ‘23!

    Even just calling it Action would make far more sense than Third Person Shooter lol. I'm curious if this will ever get looked at by the team since it's been a month of silence now...

    third person shooter should definitely remain, it's a major part of the game from what I remember
